*Tinsy glances about, then, hearing Geordie mention survivors, pulls her sword belt out and heads towards the water. *
*Regen seems to be missing a few of his troops, and is now having an agitated discussion with the stoat and another squirrel. *

*Tinsy, meanwhile, surfaces on the other side of the boat from shore. She paddles alongside, looking for other survivors. *I don't think there are any more here..

OOC: Good Denya, though I don't think you needed to put the splash where you did. Try adding a little more punctuation, since it makes it easier to read.
Like : **Denya runs for the water and dives in. Splash! He swims for the ship. Swimming fast under the water, he soon reaches the boat.
and so on and so forth.

OOC: I'd personally say that Denya's post was an autohit. I think I'd mentioned that the flames were almost completely covering the boat.
BIC: *Terragon, along with Ashnel and Birchy make their way into a rowing boat, tied in the shallows of the lake. The larger of the three, Ashnel, takes the oars, while the other two squirrels cast nervous looks at the other boats.* Birchy, d'you know how to steer a boat? *Terragon asks suddenly. Birchy pauses then nods slowly.* Good, because we need to move the nearest boat away from the burning one. *The other squirrel looks the boat, The Maywood, up and down.* I could do that, I think. You think? *Terragon repeats cynically (sp?).* Are you sure? Certain.

*Ayeny blinks, near-blinded by the brightness as she semi-approaches the shore. It doesn't look like many beasts will be walking away from that, she thinks. Ash', Terri, and Birchy are moving the other boats... there doesn't seem to be too much of a wind... Geordie and the others are swimming for survivors...* I suppose I ought to join one of those two groups, *she says to herself and goes to the edge of the water, although it appears her first worry about a lack of survivors has been confirmed.*

OOC: Hm, I don't know if it's an autohit incident persay, but I see what you mean Terri. Denya, amend your post so that you're not actually climbing onto the boat, it is classified as a raging inferno at this point (see page two for details). You could find a survivor in the water, perhaps.
Oh, and Geordie isn't swimming anywhere, Ayeny. He's got a knife wound in the leg.

OOC Sorry did not realize. I have modified. Did you mention other boats?
BIC: Denya circles around the ships area and grabs two animals and drags them to the shaore

OOC: Sorry. I meant to say that you'd had the idea and were therefore sort of coordinating it, but I think I was distracted with the band concert/speech and debate/math/English and getting lazy/tired. One of those BIC: *Ayeny sighs and tries to make her voice heard to those in the water.* Have you found anyone? * I could help with healing... but it doesn't look like there's anyone to heal. 'Cept Geordie... and Ashnel, she remembers, gravely.* Don't burn yourselves, *she adds as an afterthought, but it's spoken in a quiet voice that can barely be heard by anyone on land, let alone someone swimming anywhere near a roaring boatfire.*

*As they near the boat closest to Seastar's, Ashnel begins to flag. The wound in his back reopens as he leans forwards with the oars.* Not far now. *Birchy tells him. The smaller squirrel doesn't dare suggest that he take over rowing though. As the little craft draws up alongside the houseboat, both he and Terragon scramble up the ladder hanging over the side. Up close, the smoke from Seastar's burning boat obscures the vision and breathing of the two squirrels as they approach the tiller.* Keep an eye out in case any of the others are diving for survivors, or if there's any other boats! *Birchy calls above the rushing sound of the flames. The red squirrel nods slightly as the other takes the tiller. At first, the houseboat moves shakily, but Birchy's grip on the tiller tightens and his confidence regains itself a little and soon the massive watercraft is lumbering through the water away from the blaze, the black smoke and its smell trailing after it on the breeze.* *As Birchy and Terragon near the shallows, it takes the latter a few moments to hear the grinding noise above everything else. When she does, her eyes widen.* Birchy! You're running us aground - stop! *The other obliges and there is a nasty crunching noise. Ashnel meanwhile has rowed to the next of the barges, fastened the rowing boat to the stern with a length of rope and is preparing to move it away from danger. One boat left now... The sable-furred squirrel tells himself. The shore is too far away for Ashnel to shout instructions, so he wills somebeast to notice and move the final of the houseboats from the fire.*

*Tinsy paddles over near the last boat. She looks up at the houseboat, then, noticing that the flames are starting to reach toward the vessel, drags herself aboard and begins trying to move it away from the barge in flames.* *Unfortunately, it seems to be either caught on something or anchored to the bed of the pond. She curses and staggers about the boat, looking for a rope that needs to be cut away. *
OOC: This is me. I'm just too lazy to log in right now...

Tinsy! *Ashnel bellows hoarsley, praying that the badger hears him.* The anchor - it's to your right! Tinsy! *The smoke, streaming upon the breeze towards the squirrel, chokes him and makes his eyes water. The same smoke winds itself about Terragon and Birchy in the shallows.* Just - just leave the boat where it is, Birchy. *The red squirrel instructs weakly. The other doesn't attempt to do anything other than obeying; the last thing Birchy wants to do is make the situation any worse.*
